I'm fairly new to crochet, and when I saw this pattern I just had to give it a try.
I thought I would struggle, as it states 'intermediate', but I just made sure I read the pattern a couple of times. Only one small part had to be frogged.
The instructions are clear & easy to follow, even though I use UK terms.
I didn't use sugar water to stiffen them as stated, I used half pva glue & half water.
The end results are great, and will be making lots more for friends.
